Traveling Teens

I was so excited and amazed when I saw this website that I just had to share it. Teen Travel Talk is a website entirely dedicated to teens who travel to tell their stories.

I would have loved to travel at this age! I'm so glad there are teens out there who are benefitting from the expanded world view offered through travel and hope more teens (especially those who may not have parents that can finance it) have the opportunity to do so. Here's a blurb from the website:

Here you can read what other teenagers have to say about travel – from day trips to journeys abroad, shopping, eating, coasting, and other activities on vacation. Also, parents can read what teenagers like and dislike about family vacations and destinations so that they can plan a family trip that YOU will enjoy.

Teen Travel Talk is also interested in YOUR travel experiences. If you want to become a paid blogger and publish your travel stories on Teen Travel Talk, click “contact us” on the left hand side, fill out your contact information and tell us why you’d be a great teen travel blogger.

Go Girl Magazine

Want to read stories of women who travel? Check out this cool travel blog I found! http://www.travelgogirl.com/

From the "About Us"section of the blog:

"Go Girl Magazine (http://www.travelgogirl.com) is a fresh new take on the global perspective of adventurous, independent women. We officially launched on October 1, 2009. We first began as a travel blog to document the stories of women that travel independently. Not only is it difficult to travel alone in many countries as a woman, but it is nearly impossible in others. Social and cultural norms make a woman’s experience different wherever she goes and Go Girl wanted to document that. We advocated for the bus hoppers, the backpackers, the fruit cart-riders and the women who weren’t afraid to experience the world first-hand.Though our beginnings focused almost exclusively on travel, Go Girl has naturally blossomed into a community of globally engaged women. Some of us travel; others do not. Yet one thing still holds true- wherever we are in the world, our experiences and our perspectives as women are unique" -- Beth Santos
